JWT Token Structure

The JWT token issued by the authentication endpoint is used to authorize access to API endpoints.

🔐 Token Format

The token is a standard JSON Web Token (JWT) and may contain encoded claims such as:

  • sub: Subject (typically the client ID)
  • exp: Expiry timestamp
  • iat: Issued at timestamp

While the contents of the token are opaque to the client, it should be treated as a bearer token and stored securely.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Tokens are valid for 40 minutes
  • There are no refresh tokens — a new token must be obtained after expiry
  • Always send the token using the Authorization header
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
